Retrieve a specific knowledge entry by ID. Use when you need the full details of a particular knowledge entry, including its source memory IDs.
AI agents call get_knowledge_entry to retrieve information from Memsolus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data (a knowledge entry) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The verb 'Retrieve' and the lack of any mention of state changes, deletion, or execution clearly place this in the Read category.

Retrieve a specific knowledge entry by ID. Use when you need the full details of a particular knowledge entry, including its source memory IDs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memsolus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memsolus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_knowledge_entry: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Memsolus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_knowledge_entry is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_knowledge_entry rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_knowledge_entry. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_knowledge_entry is provided by the Memsolus MCP Server MCP server (memsolus/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
